Hold on to your hats as you follow the latest breathless adventure of the world's most animated elementary school student—Ramona Quimby. Ramona's life is a mess. Her older sister Beezus is a pain, her Aunt Bea may marry a dork and her dad just lost his job. She even thinks her teacher hates her. Life is no picnic and growing up isn’t easy, but with the help of her loving and patient family and friends, Ramona faces these challenges. This exasperating but lovable third-grader has delighted young readers for more than 50 years through the books of Newbery Medal-winning writer Beverly Clearly. Now watch as Theatreworks USA brings her to life on stage in this play for young children. The performance begins at 1 p.m. in Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton Ave. Tickets are $10 for Adults and $5 for Students (for an additional $2 per ticket, you may add an ice cream reception, taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the day of the performance); call the box office at 630-637-SHOW (7469) or visit www.northcentralcollege.edu/showtix to order your tickets.
